The Color Line.

The color line is one of the prin-
cipal things that disturbs society in
the south and keeps it in continual
hubbub. 1t is hard lesson for our
southern brethren to learn that there
can no longer be a religious or poll.
teal color line in this country.
Hardly had the excitement of at
tending the refusal of number of
white military companies to attend
the great National drill at Washing
ton died out because some colored
companies would be there, before
trouble has sprung up in the Episco-
pal Diocese convention of South
Carolina That convention is racked
nearly to pieces merely because some
colored clergy delegates to the
convention claimed seats.
The presiding bishop decided that
the colored brethren were entitled to
seats. An appeal was taken from
his ruling, and after a debate lasting
an entire day, it was sustained, where
upon Mr.. Msmminger, a member of
the late ex-confederrte cabinet, left
the convention, and his example vas
followed by a number of others.
This all seems queer for a religious
denomination, and the question
naturally arises, what are the views
OF life entertained amongst these
people for the great hereafter? Do
they really believe there is future
state, OF is their profession all sham?
Do they really believe that heaven is
sub-diyided up into denominations
with the South Carolina gentry in
one corner and the colored people in
another:
So tar as is known the good book
gives no reason to believe that there
are reserved seats in Heaven for
white people, while colored people
are crowded to the gallery. As men

LINCOLN ON THE DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE.

| In the installment OF the 'Lincoln
History" published in the June CENTURY
an account is given of the famous Dred
Scott decision, with quotations from Lin
coins and Douglass opinions on that
decision Lincoln incidentally referred
to the Declaration of Independence in
the following striking language: II
think the authors OF that notable instru-
ment intended to include all men; but
they did not intend to declare all men
equal IN all respects. They did not mean
to say all were equal in color, size. intel
lect, moral development, or social capa-
city. They defined with tolerable dis
slnctness IN what respects they did con-
slider all men created equal-equal with
certain inalienable rights, among which
are life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap
plness- This they said, and this they
meant. They did not mean to assert the
obvious untruth that all were then AZ.
tually enjoying that equally, nor yet that
they were about to confer it immediately
upon them. In fact they had no power
70 confer such boon. They meant SIM
ply to declare the right, so that the en-
fo-cement of it might follow as fast as
circumstances should permit. They
meant to set up standard maxim for
Tree society. which should be familiar to
ALL and revered by all; constantly look
ed to, constantly labored for. and even
though never perfectly attained, con-
stantly approximated, and thereby con-
stantly spreading and deepening its in
huence and augmenting the happiness
and value OF life to all people Of all
colors everywhere. The assertion that
ali men are created equal was Of no
practical use in effecting our separation

Discomfort.

An element of human nature Of
which we are never free in this life
1t is no respecter or persons or To-
calities, in the school room, at home,
in the legislative halls, the executive
mansion, the ball room. Not an
avocation of life but there is discon.
tent, though unnoticed in some cases,
yet it exists. The good book tells us
that God is not content with the sim
full ways of men. When we see a
funeral cortege moving slowly along
the street, the muff1ed sound of the
drum accompanied with the measured
steps of men in regalia, calls to the
mind discomfort. In the carriages is
seen fathers, mothers, brothers, sis
ters, husbands or wives, bowed in
grief. These mourners return home
resolved in meeting the dear one that
has gone before, in heaven. To
them the world has lost part of its
charms. Discomfort, is the result of
happenings that kindle our ambition
and inspires US to yearn for better
than surrounding circumstances.
Now, then, while we strive to better
our condition what better text is
there than this: "evidence afforded
of the future state should be sufficient
for our rational conduct" While
we may not be satisfied in our pres
ent condition we can follow the Di-
vine Law, and the precepts of good
men and women, which will tighten
our burdens until life's journey is
ended. W. A. JACKSON.

A Tradition of the Afghans.

The Afghans call themselves
E'Bin i Israeli" or children Of
Israel, but consider the term Yaho-
dee," Jew, to be one Of reproach.
They say Nebuchadnezzar, after the
overthrow Of the temple Of Jerusa-
lem, transplanted them to town Of
Ghore, near Bameean; and that they
were called Afghans from their
chief Afghana, who was a son Of
the uncle Of Asof-the vizier Of
Solomon. They say that they lived
as Jews until the Caliph summoned
them in the first century Of Moham
mechanism to assist in the wars with
the infdels. For their services on
that occasion Kyse, the leader, OBJ
tanned the title of "Son of the
Mighty" He was also told to con-
slider himself the master of his tribe,
on which its prosperity would hinge
and by which the vessel Of this stage
was to be governed. After the cam
paign the Afghans returned to their
native country and were governed by
a king Of the line of Cyrus till the
eleventh century, when they were
subduedby Mahood. A race of fkings
sprung up, subverted the reigning
house and conquered India. As is
we'll known, this dynasty'was divid-
ed at the death of its founder into
the divisions east and west of Indus,
state Of things which lasted till the
prosperity Of Timourlane reduced
both to a new yoke. | can see no
good reason for discrediting the
traditions and history Of the Afghans,
though the dates do not exactly cor
respond with those of the Old Tes-
lament. The Afghans look like
Jews; they say they are descended
from Jews; and the younger brother
marries the widow of the elder ac.
cording to the law of Moses. The
Afghans entertain strong prejudices
against the Jewish nation, which
would at least show that they had no
desire to claim, without just cause,
a descent from them. Since some of
the tribes Of Israel came to the East.
why should we not admit that the At
ghans are their descendants converted
to Mohammedanism? = BURNEs'
